sr is slow (Was: Scrolling upwards in less very slow)

Link to original bug (#118858)
Description
Type "man bash". Hit "space"; hit "b". Observe how top line fills every line of the terminal slowly before the proper screen is restored. This operation is much faster in dumb-terminal mode. Also, scrolling down is much faster than scrolling up. No such effects are visible in xterm or rxvt.
I'm using gnome-terminal with subpixel AA fonts with the Xft2/fontconfig pango back-end.
I noticed this was also filed in Mandrake's forums for 2.3.1. http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/show_bug.cgi?id=4131
